Smoke & Mirrors Poem by sammi ama

Don’t forget to look at everything with wide open eyes
because you don’t want to miss a thing.

You can’t be happy and you can’t love properly until
you learn to appreciate your surroundings
so stop and smell the roses,
pay attention to every small detail,
and know that absolutely everything holds magic.

Go ahead, let yourself be amazed because life is too short
and too damn precious
to pretend you aren’t in love with everything.

There is so much purpose to this dazzling insignificance.
